Lebanon's Aoun calls for implementation of US-backed agreement with Israel

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun has urged for the full implementation of a US-backed framework agreement between Lebanon and Israel.

Aoun stressed in a statement on X that the deal should be adopted “by both sides, without selectivity," following a meeting with his Greek counterpart Konstantinos Tasoulas in Athens.

“Lebanon and its people are tired of wars, and the goal of negotiations with Israel is to end the state of hostility,” Aoun said, calling on Greece to push for the implementation of the agreement "to the extent possible".

“We are determined to end the state of hostility, and the solution lies in diplomacy, not war.”
